 SO, Legion, geth hunting you down, possible squadmate.  I was thinking about him and was struck by how interesting a character he could be.  Imagine knowing and rebelling against your creator (perhaps viewed by them as captor or keeper).  I do not remember if we got specific info on the geth's first steps towards sentinence.  I know Tali's people created the geth.  The geth appear to be mostly mindless killing machines in ME1, but there was that scene of the two bodies in front of an altar (?), so who were they worshiping?  The Reapers?  A Quarian?  A geth savior?  Whichever a sign of advanced evolution as they have moved beyond "we are" and moved to "why are we."  Legion seems to have moved beyond even that into "I am.  I desire.  I strive to..."

I wonder how the geth view the quarians and imagine a meeting between him and Tali interesting.  He would be quite literally facing his creator.  Which brings me back to my original point, meeting your maker.  No matter what your religion, gods and goddesses run the gamut from benevolent through indifferent all the way to malevolent, they are parental, jealous, capricious, demanding.   Of course we, as human beings attribute human traits and motivations to our dieties- how else can we comprehend them, but in the case of the Geth their creators are human(ish).  SO how they view the quarians and if they view something beyond and greater than the quarians it invites an interesting dialogue on the divine.  Thoughts?

In completing one of the side missions you get from hacking a Geth computer on Feros,  you get a dialogue box saying the Geth distress signal that was sent out was a Quarian signing a mournful song. So the Geth may also have some level of appreciation for art or music, which means they experience something like emotion.
